Kids in Space!

If you love astronomy and the amazing pictures telescopes make of the stars, join us to celebrate some heavenly photographs! In conjunction with the International Year of Astronomy, the Austin Public Library has been awarded four magical images of the spiral galaxy Messier 101. See the images, learn about the telescopes that took them, enjoy Celestia, a 3D view of the solar system, and participate in astronomy activities as we unveil our permanent display of pictures of this famous galaxy.
